I am a 46 year old male. My problems date back to 2007 when I presented with chest pains for which I was seen by a cardiologist. I was referred to a surgeon for coronary artery surgery which I came through extremely well. I have been well ever since and have exercised regularly with a biokineticist and at home without any symptoms whatsoever. I was followed by another cardiologist on a regular basis. In 2012 I underwent further coronary angiography for symptoms of chest pain and was told that my coronary circulation was respectable and no further revascularization was required. In recent weeks I have experienced recurrent chest pains. These are not completely typical and describe as a combination of burning upper left chest wall discomfort as well as left central cramping chest pains with radiation to the arm which are reminiscent of but less severe than the pains that preceded my coronary artery surgery. My father died unexpectedly in his sleep at the age of 50 and a brother succumbed also at the age of 50 following complication of heart disease. With ECPI feel much more energetic and strong. ECP has increased my energy levels, my blood circulation and also assisted with my diabetic condition. ECP is an excellent program to go on. The staff is professional, friendly, well trained and well mannered.

17 years ago I started experiencing chest pains and shortness of breath. I was referred to a government hospital in Natal known as Wentworth hospital. I was seen by a cardiologist who performed a coronary angiogram on me. They found a narrowed vessel and one stent was inserted into an artery of my heart. I was fine after the procedure and did not experience any symptoms until October 2014. From 2014 until now I experience a burning sensation on my chest on moderate exertion.  I was seen by a GP in Newcastle who referred me to a cardiologist in Mediclinic in Pietermaritzburg in August 2015. I underwent a 2nd angiogram that was performed radially through my hand.  The cardiologist studied the results and suggested that I undergo triple bypass surgery. I opted to reconsider and underwent 3 Dimensional Vasculography (3DVG) to give me an in depth overview of my cardiac function before I could make an informed decision on a course of treatment. I did ECP treatment. I feel much more energetic and I am now able to walk around without getting tired. There is no more burning on my chest while walking. I can now also walk up the stairs at full speed and I do not get tired. I do not have any more shortness of breath and no chest pains and burns. I suffered from stomach and lower back pains for a long time. After following Dr Mohanlall advise during ECP, these pains have finally subsided. The staff are caring, helpful and knowledgeable.

I used to suffer from chest pains & shortness of breath under stress. An angiogram revealed 2 constricted arteries and 1 that is blocked. Triple bypass surgery was recommended. Unfortunately I could not undergo owing to rare blood disorder. I therefore considered alternative therapy. After much research I decided to go for ECP.

After ECP I feel very energised. I can now do almost everything that I used to do prior to my heart attack. I no longer have any chest pains and shortness of breath. I am sure with the exercise regime provided I will improve the quality of my wellbeing further.

The staff are excellent, accommodating and professional. Dr Mohanlall is very knowledgeable and easy going. He has a wealth of experience in the industry, very reassuring.

I would suggest perhaps light instrumental background music. The ambience at the reception area has a very soothing effect upon arrival. I would recommend ECP to anyone else.

I fell very ill approximately 4 months ago and was referred by my GP to see a specialist Physician because of low heart beat. He did an ECG which reflected cardiac problems. I was sent for blood tests before the specialist could change my medication. On the evening of the very same day I was finding it difficult to breath and had chest pains. The doctor at the outpatient sprayed 2 puffs of pain relief under my tongue. He gave a letter for my son to rush me to hospital. At the hospital I had a chest x- ray and was given antibiotic and advised to take TNT whenever in pain. They did not want to admit me because I had stabilised 4 hours later after the tongue spray. I was taking about 6 TNT per day. I had severe headaches and hardly slept at night. I could not sleep flat on my back I had to use continental pillows to sit up in bed whenever I tried to sleep. My pressure escalated significantly and the pressure medication that I was taking did not reduce my pressure level. I felt week and was finding difficulty in walking. My son decided to research further to help me overcome my condition that was not improving. He referred me to visit Dr Mohanlall for ECP.During the ECP treatment the first few sessions did not seem to have any improvements. I think I was expecting improvements immediately. However Dr Mohanlall suggested I need to continue with the treatment to see the benefits. He was very dedicated and gave me full attention and understood my condition. He advised on medication twice during my treatment to adapt to my condition. After about the 12^th treatment I could feel the improvement in my breathing and my chest pains reduced significantly. My pressure levels started to drop. Around the 20^th treatment I was as normal again. No chest pains therefore any more TNT and breathing was not a problem again. I could walk easily. No more tiredness and sleeping easily without the use of continental pillows. No more severe headache and my pressure reduced to normal. I only take half a tablet in the morning. My life is as I was 4 months ago. I can cook and wash dishes and do house chores.

My blessing goes out to Dr Mohanlall and his team on ensuring my recovery. I will strongly recommend them to others that I will in contact. The staffs are excellent in caring and executing their tasks.

A Big thank you to Dr Mohanlall and team.
